Title: Baking oven for the high-temperature treatment of materials with a low dielectric loss factor
Inventor: BARTUSCH WOLFGANG
IPC: H05B6/80
Filed: 1998-01-02
Abstract: In a baking oven (10) for the high-temperature treatment of materials with a relatively low dielectric loss factor (tan .delta.) by heating the material by absorption of microwave energy in a resonant chamber (16), a uniform energy intensity of the microwave field is to be achieved for example by irradiating the microwave energy over a broad band and/or by varying in time the frequency of the irradiated microwave energy. The resonant chamber (16) and the radiation source (13) are tuned to each other such that the relation:  (V/.lambda.3) .B 20 is satisfied. V stands for the volume of the resonant chamber (16), .lambda. for the wavelength of the microwave radiation and B its band width. V/.lambda.3 equals at least 300 and the clear dimensions lx, ly and lz of the resonant cavity (16) in the direction of the co-ordinates x, y and z are approximately equal to the cubic root of V. The wall (161 to 166) of the resonant cavity is made of graphite and can be heated by a heating device (28) up to the temperature of the material to be treated. The heating device is arranged outside the resonant chamber, and a heat insulating envelope (38) encloses the unit of resonant cavity (16) and heating device.

Patent CA-2280996-A1 (CA)
Title: Electric field sensor
Inventor: BRUN DEL RE RICCARDO
IPC: A61B5/308
Filed: 1999-08-26
Abstract: An electric field sensor employs a capacitive pick-up electrode in a voltage divider network connected to a body emanating an electric field. The pick-up electrode is positioned at a "stand off" location, spaced from intimate contact with the surface of the body. This is equivalent to providing low level capacitive values for the capacitive coupling between the pick-up electrode and the body whose electric field is to be monitored. By avoiding intimate contact, the system is relatively insensitive to variations in the separation gap, reducing sensor motion artifacts in the output signal. Human body-generated electrical signals may be acquired without use of conductive gels and suction-based electrodes, without direct electrical contact to the body, and even through thin layers of clothing.

Title: Elongation factor-2 kinase (ef-2 kinase) and methods of use therefor
Inventor: PAVUR KAREN S
IPC: A61K38/00
Filed: 1998-08-20
Abstract: A new superfamily of protein kinases has been discovered that centers around eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF-2 kinase). The proetin kinases of this new superfamily have the following characteristics: 1) sequence similarity to eEF-2 kinase; 2) no sequence similarity to the protein kinases of either the serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase or histidine kinase superfamily; and, 3) specifically phosphorylates .alpha.-helical regions of proteins as opposed to .beta.-turns, as seen in all other protein kinases.  Assays have been developed utilizing eEF-2 kinase and a phosphorylation target consisting of a novel .alpha.-helical 16-amino acid peptide sequence to facilitate high-throughput screening for compounds that can specifically inhibit this protein kinase that has been implicated tumor growth and other hyperproliferative disorders. Additionally, the disclosed invention includes assessing eEF-2 kinase levels for diagnostic purposes, and therapeutic formulations to inhibit eEG-2 kinase activity.
